Annual Goanetters Meet - January 3, 2012 - 12:30 - 2pm Tourist Hostel, near the Old Secretariat, Panaji (Panjim) Planning to attend? Send an email to eve...@goanet.org with contact details --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Dr. Kamat, There has never been any doubt in my mind that you have close to your heart Goa’s culture at its deepest levels—whether be it petroglyphs, shamanism, archaeological sites, medicine, and everything that more and more Goans are sadly less and less aware of. Towards a possible interaction of minds I would suggest that you and Subhashis Das get to know each other (perhaps you already do). Subhashis lives in Hazaribagh Jharkhand (I came to know of him through Xavier Dias, formerly of Jharkand) has been looking at Megaliths, the fertility cults, and mother goddesses for a long time. His site is http://www.megalithindia.in/ Perhaps there are Megaliths in Goa that you are aware of and it could be worth you two interacting with each other. Dear Subhashis, I am posting this on Goanet so my people may know more about Megaliths. If I remember correctly, I had posted your site on Goanet some months ago. And a post by Dr.Nandkumar Kamat which appeared last year on [Goanet] How we put tiny Goa on the global rock art map 17 years ago-Part I- A peep into prehistoric Goan shamanism. http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@lists.goanet.org/msg61224.html ++++++ Dear All, Do share any thoughts you may have. If the two scholars interact they may do it between themselves, but do feed them any ideas you may have. It would be great if they cc Goanet. If anything crops us make sure you cc Subhashis, since he is not on Goanet. Best. ++++++++++++ venantius j pinto --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
